As you can see, we're still on cloud 9 with the addition of Taylor to our family, and it still feels somewhat surreal.
So, I decided that we needed to get some photos of her. Jamie, of course, also wanted picturs. But I was the one pushing for them. Not a typical thing for me to do - but having a little girl has made me a softy. I love pink. I want bows and bracelets for her. She's my princess.
A friend of mine had some really cool pictures of his family, including their baby boy when he was just seven days old, and he recommended the photographer that they worked with - Jamie Thorpe (http://www.jamiethorpephotography.com/). She's really good - especially with newborns. As you can see, the newborn pics show her in her 'birthday suit' - and while the pictures turned out adorable, Jamie (my wife) thought it was pretty funny to see Taylor get dad 'messy' in every way that she could get me messy. I was a magnet for her bodily fluids. But again, I must have gone through some metamorphasis by becoming a dad, because I don't think I would have taken too well under normal circumstances, but dad's must have a slightly stronger tolerance to gross stuff, because I just laughed.
Some of our favorite pictures are on the slideshow (to the right).

Oh my gosh, we are soooo excited for you guys. I love seeing that red hair too! My little Clara came out with dark red hair (it has turned strawberry) and we love it!! Congrats to you guys, you will be the all time best parents to that sweet little girl! I can't get over how happy your smiles are in those pictures! Keep on trucking with the late night calls, they will pass in time and you will get your sleep (sort of!)
Wow! What cute pictures! I can't wait to see Taylor again on Sunday. I'm glad you found my new blog, but be patient with me. I'm still trying to figure it all out and trying to find time to blog.
She is so cute! Those are great pictures. Taylor looks so little, but she'll grow so quickly! You guys are smart to have family photos taken now.
Congrats Jamie & Dustin! Taylor is super cute! I love the red hair. The close up of you all (color in black outfits) is super cute! I'm so thirlled you have this little angel in your lives. Enjoy her!
JAmie,
It was so good to see you this week! I loved swapping newborn stories. It seems like yesterday I was going through the same adjustments!!! I promise it get's easier!!! PS: Your sweet potatoes were SOOO good. I'm tempted to make them (right now). I hope you don't mind me posting the recipe to my recipe blog. They're too good not to share!
Jamie, I just read your story and what a blessing to have a beautiful princess in your home. I would love to see your family and hang out some time.
